[Verse 1]
I want to know you, Lord
Like I know a friend
I want to know you, Lord
I want to know you, Lord
Like I know a friend
I want to know you, Lord
So I’m laying down all my religion
I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
I’m laying down all my religion
I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
[Verse 2]
I use to think that I could box you in
But I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
I use to think that I could box you in
But I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
So I’m laying down all my religion
I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
I’m laying down all my religion
I’m laying down
I want to know you, Lord
[Bridge]
Lord, I’ve been told to be ashamed
Lord, I’ve been told I don’t measure up
Lord, I’ve been told I’m not good enough
But you’re here with me
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach out and you find me in the dust
You say no amount of untruths can separate us
(I reach out) I reach out and you find me in the dust
And you say no amount of untruths can separate us
(I reach out) I reach out and you find me in the dust
And you say no amount of untruths can separate us
[Chorus]
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in you, Lord
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in you, Lord
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in you, Lord
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach out and you find me in the dust
You say no amount of untruths can separate us
[Chorus]
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in you, Lord
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in you, Lord
